Love me some Dr. Pepper

At long last, I have a can of Dr. Pepper once more. It has been too long! It has been like three weeks! This is the pop of whatever deities exist, and if no deities exist, then I am that deity, so that it is still the pop of deities!

Dr. Pepper is perfection in a can. Cherry Dr. Pepper is perfection multiplied by seven.

And I swear to my own iBrow's eyebrows if anybody calls me out for calling your so-called "soda" as "pop", I will burn YOUR eyebrows. In your DREAMS. Because I am Canadian, and that is how we roll. We say "pop". Because we will be different.

The debate between "soda" and "pop" is a colloquial one, and it varies over the entirety of North America. Both are fine. I grew up calling it "pop" and interchange that with "soda" all the time. I'm not sure when "soda" became a part of my lexicon, but I use it as often as I do "pop".

The parts of the continent that call all carbonated beverages "Coke" are wrong, however. They are utterly and completely wrong.

Politeness I find to be subjective (which is of course my excuse for a lot of these weird threats, like burning eyebrows. I'm not even sure I could do that). I've had members here and everywhere question my calling it "pop" as though I were wrong... so I took this opportunity to gleefully crush any resistance.

I will admit however that when I really think about it, soda kinda makes more sense than pop.

I could not possibly agree more.

And for me, I know "soda" came in because of college and everyone poking fun of how weird "pop" was. Despite being in the same state even haha. But I still use both around all my friends here.
